4.21 Comparison <strong>of</strong> the experimental data (red dashed line) and<br />

the numerical one (black solid line) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 66<br />

4.22 Comparison <strong>of</strong> the numerical data (thick black line) and the<br />

analytical solution one (black thin line) . . . . . . . . . . . . . 67<br />

4.23 Sketch <strong>of</strong> the layout <strong>of</strong> the conical island experiments. . . . . . 68<br />

4.24 Pictures <strong>of</strong> the conical island experiments. Figure taken from<br />

the paper <strong>of</strong> Di Risio et al. (2009b) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 69<br />

4.25 Layout <strong>of</strong> sea-level and run-up gauges position . . . . . . . . . 70<br />

4.26 <strong>Numerical</strong> domain <strong>of</strong> the frequency-dispersive model. The<br />

numbers 2.07, 4.47 and 8.00 express the radii in meters <strong>of</strong> the<br />

undisturbed shoreline <strong>of</strong> the island base at the tank bottom<br />

and <strong>of</strong> the external circular boundary respectively . . . . . . . 72<br />

4.27 Comparison <strong>of</strong> the free surface elevations at the near field<br />

gauges position, measured (red dashed line) and obtained<br />

from the numerical model (black solid line). The numerical<br />

results are achieved by using the registration <strong>of</strong> the free surface<br />

elevation at the gauge 15S to estimate the wave source term. . 74<br />

4.28 Comparison <strong>of</strong> the free surface elevations at the far field gauges<br />

position, measured (red dashed line) and obtained from the<br />

numerical model (black solid line). The numerical results are<br />

achieved by using the registration <strong>of</strong> the free surface elevation<br />

at the gauge 15S to estimate the wave source term. . . . . . . 75<br />

4.29 Comparison <strong>of</strong> the free surface elevations at the back field<br />

gauges position, measured (red dashed line) and obtained<br />

from the numerical model (black solid line). The numerical<br />

results are achieved by using the registration <strong>of</strong> the free surface<br />

elevation at the gauge 15S to estimate the wave source term. . 76<br />

4.30 Comparison <strong>of</strong> the wave energy spectra at gauges 12S (left<br />

panel) and 15S (right panel), measured (red dashed line) and<br />

obtained from the numerical model (black solid line). The<br />

numerical results are achieved by using the registration <strong>of</strong> the<br />

free surface elevation at the gauge 15S to estimate the wave<br />

source term. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 76<br />

gauges position, measured (red dashed line) and obtained<br />

from the numerical model (black solid line). The numerical<br />

results are achieved by using the registration <strong>of</strong> the free surface<br />
